Safety LASER RADIATION WARNING Warning Laser Laser radiation of Class 2 (US: class II) For Class 2 (US: class II) laser is short term exposure (up to 0.25 seconds) harmless to the eyes and can therefore be operated without additional protective measures. However it can cause irritation of the eyes if the natural avoidance reaction (staring into the laser beam deliberately) or eyelid closure reflex is suppressed.
• The machine and its components, such as the lens and mirrors, are to be kept clean at all times. • Caution The adjustment of the beam path may only be carried out by service personnel of Trotec Laser GmbH.
Personnel must be qualified to operate the machine through adequate and detailed training. If a member of staff • does not have the required knowledge, they must be trained internally. A Trotec training course can be requested and recorded in the training/acceptance protocol (see "Appendix").
If any warning and safety stickers are lost or damaged, the user is not able identify risks anymore, and there is danger of injury. – Replace lost or damaged labels immediately. – Contact your Trotec Laser GmbH dealer for details.
Safety and protection devices must be fully functional at all times. – In case of assumed or presumed damage of safety devices, disconnect the machine from the mains. – Damaged safety and protection devices need to be replaced by a Trotec technician immediately. Technical protective measures 2.6.1 Main switch Pressing the main switch on the backside of the machine to disconnect the machine from the mains power supply.
Safety 1. Turn the emergency stop button counterclockwise to unlock it so that the green marking is visible. 2. Restart the laser system using the key switch. 2.6.4 Interlock safety switches Interlock safety switch query the closed status of the acrylic top lid, side panels and front door. If the safety devices are open or not present, the laser cannot be operated.
